4 Infinity (Figure-Eight) Bubbles with Finger Rings
- Moisten your hands well with bubble solution.
- Form a ring with your thumb and index finger.
- Hold your hand so that the film inside the ring is always perpendicular to the floor.
- The third, fourth, and fifth fingers stay slightly pulled back so they don’t interfere with the bubble.
- Move your hand smoothly, as if drawing a lying figure eight (the infinity sign).
- When you move your hand away from yourself, your palm and fingers face upward.
- When you bring your hand back toward yourself, your palm and fingers face downward.
- The movement should be smooth and continuous, but at the turning points — where the hand changes direction — make a slightly sharper motion. This quick, precise change helps the film close and form the next bubble.
- You can perform this trick with one hand, with both hands alternately, or with both at the same time for a more dynamic visual effect.
- If bubbles stop forming, the film has popped. Quickly bring your thumb and index finger together and apart to make a new film, then continue the motion.
- Keep the film always perpendicular to the floor — that’s the key to a clean, even bubble.
- Combine smooth motion with sharper accents at the ends of each loop — this makes the trick more expressive.
- Keep your fingers wet; if the film dries, re-moisten them lightly.
- Hands should always stay slightly tilted toward yourself.
- Try alternating both hands for a graceful, dance-like effect.
- This trick can be done standing still or while spinning. When not spinning, slowly move backward to allow more bubbles to form without popping.
